It's been just over 3 months since we created the JBoss MASS project and today we're announcing the first major code contribution - The Migration Analysis Tool (MAT) was created by Mitch Mocle and team at Middleware Connections. The tool is used as a starting point for estimating the effort required to migrate a group of J2EE applications from an Oracle/BEA WebLogic environment to a JBoss AS / JBoss EAP environment.

This is an important first step. The goal of JBoss MASS is to provide a common place to develop tools for migrating to JBoss - if you have or are thinking of developing such a tool and think that Open Source collaboration might be a good way to enhance and maintain the technology - get in touch.
